State on Fire

Oow! We have 93 fires burning in Victoria on this extremely hot and dry day. Around 23 of these are classified as "going" which means it is "spreading on an external edge, in whole or in part".

See here for details. The Country Fire Authority (CFA) also have a pretty informative site too. Check it out at http://www.cfa.vic.gov.au.

It's 41 degrees and 'smokey' according to my computer weather applet. It gets it's information from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

Whatever it is...it's damn uncomfortable and hard to find the motivation to do anything. I have suprised myself by writing this blog post.

I'm keeping an eye out for the cool change...it doesn't look too far off.

Here's hoping the rain will help with some of the fires.

Old Growth Forest for $410,000

A lot of money indeed. But oh so worth it.

Take a look at this little gem. Such a beautiful place but out of my (and partners) price range completely.

I figure I may as well start putting the feeler out, who knows maybe 410,000 people will read this and say 'hell, I'll give a dollar for that!' I'll even let you camp on the property if you are ever in town.
